Description:

Inclusivity and increased engagement yield friendships as evidenced in research and conversations at the Future of AAC Symposium in 2024. Technology leads us in new directions. GoTalk DESIGN software has been updated to CONNECT with ground-breaking new hardware! GoTalk DESIGN & CONNECT gives you the tools to create robust communication boards for the new GoTalk Connect! Still just as easy to add images and text to communication boards, but now you can also send audio to the device! That’s right, within the app you can record your voice, or utilize newly created text-to-speech voices, and wirelessly send that to GoTalk CONNECT. Join me at CTG 2025 to create the connections you’ll need to communicate about the future possibilities you envision for your students!
